Monsters Delight

Monsters Delight 

A college girl’s ingenious kiss 
The hippie’s world in colorful bliss 
Falling from chocolate stars I swam through the air with courage and lust 
I saw two killers engaged in folly 
Smiles and bullets painted the sky 
The trickster thinks his bag is heavy 
Like my fists smashing shameful lies. 

Let them come see 
The visions of carnage and velvet I can play 
That old candle was always yours you know 
I used to start fires like a banshee spitting embers in the night
Times were good 
Where I once stood 
Chasing strangers by streetlight. 

I miss the way monsters used to dance 
The sun would tremble 
Our claws were fast and able 
Eating the skin of heroes with passion 
You were my once great satisfaction.
